Baby G ~ 2000 Galant ES I4

[4g63lover]

got the flywheel, clutch, and trans in. Shimmed the pivot ball as well.

getting the trans in with the thicker aftermarket flywheel was a pain, if it didn't hit the PP it hit the subframe. But with a little patience GmoEm2 and I got it in. when I heard the disc go into the input shaft I was more than extatic.

Going back to work on it Monday because it's my moms birthday party tomorrow and I dont work on cars on sunday.

All thats left is...

Slave cyl
clutch line

off the top of my head it looks like you need a TOB and the TOB return clip.

if you have an OEM 3G Eclipse flywheel (Has to be from mitsubishi) you're going to need a second flywheel washer. if you have an aftermarket flywheel (2G, aftermarket 3G, or REMAN 3g) you are going to need longer bolts. I used the 2G flywheel bolts and threw the two washers out.

Yup I do have the TOB threw on the one that came with the exedy, and the return clip Im assuming is the little clip the holds the TOB onto the input shaft? I do have an OEM flywheel, where the hell can I find this washer? lol I need CAPS so I can find the part number. :p

[4g63lover]

the return clip clips onto the fork.

and you can get the washer from the dealer for 5bucks.

Ok ill have to go pick one up sometime soon.

On a side note... someone banged up my pass side fender today :'(

[4g63lover]

Got most of evrything in. Just need to put the suspension back together and the axles in to put it on the ground. Then, all I need to do is bleed the clutch, pour some gear lube in it, and adjust the clutch.


OMG look at the space!!

[02redgalant]

If I were you I would pick up some grade 8 hardened steel bolts instead of those grade5 bolts. They might break :p

jigz along the side wall there should be a clip to slip down the ss line for the clutch!

Thank bro!! I can't wait to drive it!

[Ivory8g]

np! dude it will feel like a new car when you take it out for the first time! remember no beating up the clutch until it is broken in!

Actually, the clutch already has 3k on it but I'm still going to baby it for the first 100 miles or so. I really can't wait!

[Ivory8g]

I would as well every car is different letting it bed in for 100 miles should be good

[RedGalant2k1]

There would be a break in anyways because you should have resurfaced the flywheel. Unless you are using the same clutch.

[4g63lover]

I got a brand new flywheel so I will definitely break it in.

[Galant306m]

and by breaking it in you mean beating the shit out of it right?

[4g63lover]

I have to pull the trans out again early tomorrow. I might've shimmed the pivot ball a washer or two too much.

[Stewi]

jigz make sure you loctite the pivot ball threads after you put it back.
